Public Safety Committee on Dec. 13th, 2022

[The Chair, Liberal, Ron McKinnon]

I just recognized Mr. Noormohamed.

Was that on a point of order?

[Taleeb Noormohamed, Liberal, Vancouver Granville, BC]

I still had the floor, but if Mr. Motz has a point of order....

[The Chair, Liberal, Ron McKinnon]

Mr. Motz, please go ahead on a point of order.

[Glen Motz, Conservative, Medicine Hat—Cardston—Warner, AB]

Thank you, Chair.

We can solve this whole mess if the Liberals would just agree to get rid of amendment G-4.

[The Chair, Liberal, Ron McKinnon]

That's not a point of order.

We're out of time.

Mr. Noormohamed is in full sway here. I feel he has more miles left to go.

We will suspend at this time and resume from where we left off.

When we resume on Thursday—I don't know if there's any other time available; our regular slot is Thursday morning—Mr. Noormohamed has the floor, followed by Ms. Damoff, Madame Michaud, Mr. Badawey and Ms. Dancho.

[Raquel Dancho, Conservative, Kildonan—St. Paul, MB]

Mr. Chair, I'm sorry. Before you clang the gavel, I'm just wondering if you could answer my question about whether we have time to finish this up now.

Why don't we just go another half an hour?

[The Chair, Liberal, Ron McKinnon]

It's because we don't have time for that. We don't have resources to go past five more minutes.

[Raquel Dancho, Conservative, Kildonan—St. Paul, MB]

But we do—

[Taleeb Noormohamed, Liberal, Vancouver Granville, BC]

I have a point of order, Mr. Chair.

[The Chair, Liberal, Ron McKinnon]

Is this on the same point of order?

[Taleeb Noormohamed, Liberal, Vancouver Granville, BC]

No, it's a different point of order. We still haven't dealt with the previous question that was asked in the previous point of order that Madame Michaud had raised. We have a whole bunch of things in flux here that predicate whether or not....

First of all, there's the question of a meeting on Thursday. There's the question whether we have an actual answer to understand the problem we're trying to address. I think we're in a bit of a spin and now we're entirely out of time, but—

[The Chair, Liberal, Ron McKinnon]

On everybody's point of order, when we come back on Thursday, if you wish to make a subamendment about travel or such, that would be appropriate.

At this point, we're out of time.

[Taleeb Noormohamed, Liberal, Vancouver Granville, BC]

I will have the floor again and will pick up where I was on that point.

[Raquel Dancho, Conservative, Kildonan—St. Paul, MB]

I just have one more point of order, Mr. Chair.

[The Chair, Liberal, Ron McKinnon]

Ms. Dancho, go ahead on a point of order.

[Raquel Dancho, Conservative, Kildonan—St. Paul, MB]

If we're not going finish today, I think the committee should be made aware. What happens if we don't finish on Thursday?

[The Chair, Liberal, Ron McKinnon]

We would probably suspend again until the next opportunity.

[Raquel Dancho, Conservative, Kildonan—St. Paul, MB]

When would that be?

[The Chair, Liberal, Ron McKinnon]

I don't want to speculate. I think we should deal with Thursday and hopefully get it done on Thursday.

[Raquel Dancho, Conservative, Kildonan—St. Paul, MB]

There's no guarantee.

[The Chair, Liberal, Ron McKinnon]

There's no guarantee. This is the Wild West we're in right now.

[Raquel Dancho, Conservative, Kildonan—St. Paul, MB]

Thank you, Liberals.

[Pam Damoff, Liberal, Oakville North—Burlington, ON]

Chair, can I move to adjourn the meeting?

[The Chair, Liberal, Ron McKinnon]

There has been a motion to adjourn, as opposed to suspend.

[An hon. member]

I'd vote for that.
